Required Methods

fn backend_type(&self, layout: TyAndLayout<'tcx>) -> Self::Type

The backend type used for a rust type when it’s in memory, such as when it’s stack-allocated or when it’s being loaded or stored.

fn cast_backend_type(&self, ty: &CastTarget) -> Self::Type

fn fn_decl_backend_type(&self, fn_abi: &FnAbi<'tcx, Ty<'tcx>>) -> Self::Type

fn fn_ptr_backend_type(&self, fn_abi: &FnAbi<'tcx, Ty<'tcx>>) -> Self::Type

fn reg_backend_type(&self, ty: &Reg) -> Self::Type

fn immediate_backend_type(&self, layout: TyAndLayout<'tcx>) -> Self::Type

The backend type used for a rust type when it’s in an SSA register.

For nearly all types this is the same as the Self::backend_type, however bool (and other 0-or-1 values) are kept as i1 in registers but as BaseTypeMethods::type_i8 in memory.

Converting values between the two different backend types is done using from_immediate and to_immediate_scalar.

fn is_backend_immediate(&self, layout: TyAndLayout<'tcx>) -> bool

fn is_backend_scalar_pair(&self, layout: TyAndLayout<'tcx>) -> bool

fn scalar_pair_element_backend_type( &self, layout: TyAndLayout<'tcx>, index: usize, immediate: bool, ) -> Self::Type

Provided Methods

fn is_backend_ref(&self, layout: TyAndLayout<'tcx>) -> bool

A type that produces an OperandValue::Ref when loaded.

AKA one that’s not a ZST, not is_backend_immediate, and not is_backend_scalar_pair. For such a type, a load_operand doesn’t actually load anything.

Object Safety

This trait is not object safe.
